Review:

Wow. Totally not what I was expecting. Really, I had no idea what to expect. But I figured with the -eth suffix it would have been more old-timey, like Ibsen maybe, or Sheridan.

A bunch of no-hope drunks in a dead end, last resort tavern in the years just prior to WWI.

I could feel, literally feel, the horror of waking from a massive drinking session and needing the next drink.

Superbly constructed, emotional, absorbing, thoughtful, and darker than the inside of a cave.

Wow. Perfect. I award this the coveted Neilosian 5 stars.
